The Spanish king Juan <strong>Carl</strong>os I<br />
opened the Calar Alto observatory in<br />
September 1979. Over the last 25<br />
years, the telescopes (1.23 m, 2.2 m<br />
and 3.5 m) were primarily available<br />
to German and Spanish astronomers.<br />
Since January 1, 2005, the Calar Alto<br />
observatory has been jointly operated<br />
on an equal basis by the Max Planck<br />
Society and the Spanish Consejo Superior<br />
de Investigaciones Científicas<br />
(CSIC).<br />
The PMAS (Potsdam Multi-Aperture<br />
Spectrophotometer) of the Potsdam<br />
Astrophysics Institute is installed<br />
on the 3.5 m telescope.<br />
